The key is their earlier statement that he does it all the time. I'd be interested in seeing how many times they've actually been to Camp David. I think he usually opts for places more expensiuve. One picture from August doesn't exactly make him a gun advocate.

Sure doesn't. But what is does do is show a weakness on his previous anti-gun stance. Seems like all the yelling is getting to him.

Never mind that there's a Reuters release out there saying that on Aug 4, 2012 when the above picture was supposedly taken, obama took a day off to play a round of golf. No mention of shooting anything.

Further, I don't know what he's supposed to be firing. Shotguns shoot smokeless powder these days and don't emit that kind of smoke - almost none in fact. That is a black powder load. Then, what's that blast of smoke coming off the side of the upper barrel? You don't port over under guns. The thing on the muzzle could be a choke, but why only on the upper barrel? That looks like a rifle front sight. Then, I thought obama was around 6' tall. Based on the shotgun, the guy shooting is much shorter. Lastly, Moochie better get after him if that's really obammy. He's got a little pot belly going there.

What is that side blast? I have no idea. And did the camera - which was operating at a really high speed - catch something exiting the barrel?

Here's a picture of the Browning Citori, which looks like the gun Obama is firing. Shouldn't be any side blast as far as I know.

Another inconsistency. The stance shows no recoil and the smoke out of the side is a head scratcher. No firearm that I've ever fired does that and I don't recall shotguns ever blasting white smoke like that before. I have to shoot 20 times from a 12 gauge in short order and if the gun I'm shooting gave off that kind of smoke, I wouldn't be able to see my target after the 3rd shot.

If that side blast was the result of porting - never done to my knowledge on over unders - it wouldn't just be one side. Split barrel? The whole thing is a bad photoshop. Really, if you look at the shotgun O is supposed to be shooting, it looks 'bent.' The breech to his right hand appears to have a downward slope.

You'd think they could afford to hire a good graphics artist to shop their pics. This isn't the first bad photo job to come out of the white house.

I'd almost say the thing was a rifle and somebody tried to turn it into a shotgun via photoshop. I wonder if they didn't just grab a pic off the internet and realized that the shooter had a rifle, so tried to make a shotgun out of it.
